It’s Stand Down Season

Published: September 20, 2020  ~   0

Over the past two months, we have sent out over 440 of our lovingly handcrafted goods to the wonderful veterans in beautiful Fairbanks, Alaska and the great states of West Virginia and Kentucky.

There is still time to donate! We have many Stand Downs coming up, with the next one in mid-October in Washington state. We are in desperate need of scarves in particular, however hats, mittens, etc. are still needed. There are other ways to donate if you are not a crafter. Please consider making a monetary donation to help us cover the costs of materials, shipping, and overhead. If you need yarn, or other supplies, please contact us through email at thriveassociation@thrivevets.org or by phone at (469) 427-9654. If you have donations, we are still continuing our policy of curbside pickup. Please contact us to schedule a pickup if you are in the DFW area. For those outside of the DFW area, please ship your donations to our office at:

T.H.R.I.V.E. Association

9329 Springwater Dr.

Dallas, TX 75228

Remember, even one lovingly handcrafted hat can make a huge difference in the life of an underprivileged veteran or their dependent.

Veteran’s Day and the Dallas Stand Down

Happy Veteran’s Day! Today we remember our nation’s brave veterans and their noble sacrifices. We at T.H.R.I.V.E. Association would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of those who have served. We are so grateful for all that you have done for our great nation.

The Dallas Stand Down was held this past November 7, and T.H.R.I.V.E. Association was able to pass out 339 hand made garments to our brave homeless veterans and their families.

​Please remember that we still have several Stand Downs coming up and with Winter drawing nearer, we need hats, scarves, mittens, etc. to meet the needs of the veterans and their dependents who are scheduled to attend.

A Call to Crafters

Published: September 27, 2019  ~   0

We’ve been busy this past month, having sent 100 items to Fairbanks AK and 200 items to Huntington WV! Our goods were well loved by the veterans who received them, so thank you for all of your support and hard work. However, we still have several Stand Downs coming up, such as Fort Worth and Dallas TX, and need your help to meet the needs of the veterans at these events. We are short on hats and scarves in the darker shades of black, blue, green, grey, and camouflage. We need your support to meet the numbers at these Stand Downs, in the colors and styles that the veterans prefer. So please, send in your work as soon as you can!
